revenge of the sith didn't only need to rationalize all three prequel movies... but also had to tie things up so that things would be in place for episode 4.... just further restraining the movie. RLM was right. It should have started around the time AOTC with a different story, went into the clone wars... and then ended with RotS.
@reviewreviewer1 I've just begun reading this silly report, and I discarded it in the trash, because it is trash. For someone to try to tell the rest of civilized intelligent humanity that what we saw wasn't actually garbage he failed to do just in his opening paragraphs.
To call Stoklasa "dishonest" is ad hominem, and meant to attract people like you to his point of view with no substance whatsoever.
@reviewreviewer1 Why is it trash? Well, for one, he's 14 when he made the rebuttal and he makes a lot of unfounded assumptions. For instance, he claims that the Republic were taxing the Trade Feds, and that's why they were blockading the Naboo in order to protest the taxation of trade routes. Nothing is spelled out that indicates what specifically the dispute was about. He makes tons of baseless assumptions like this.
@MaxxTheMerciless Nice you are not Mike but they were agfainst the taxes cause they were obviously independent traders not a goverment beauracracy they were respresented in the sdenate well a goverment ministery won`t be respresented in the goverment cause it work for it, and they never mentioned that the Naboo had to pay taxes neirtgher did the Naboo, also they had no contact with the senate and they are a teade federation a federation of traders thius means they are against taxes!!
@reviewreviewer1 Sorry, it doesn't follow that just because the Trade Federation is a bunch of "independent traders" with representation in the Senate, they would naturally be against taxes. Maybe they were getting some of that tax revenue? Maybe they were a monopoly and sought to restrict trade to Naboo only to them? True, that's not mentioned, but neither is it mentioned that the Naboo were the taxers, or the payers. So to presume anything about this conflict is baseless without more info.
@reviewreviewer1 How do you know they weren't "in league" with the Senate? See how this situation isn't as cut and dried as you might think? This "conflict" is only expressed to us in The Phantom Menace in only the vaguest of terms; the sides are not clearly established where they stand. That's why I said that the author of that 108 page rebuttal is making a lot of unfounded assumptions that he cannot cite the source of in the film itself.
@reviewreviewer1 Ever heard of somethng called the British East India Company? They were a cartel established by Parliament in the year 1600, and they were given monopoly status as traders (complete with their own armed forces). They were also given tax revenue from levies at certain ports of call. In light of this it's wrong to say that the Trade Feds detested taxes, since, with representation in the Senate, they could sponsor bills that would give them some, or all, of the revenue.
@MaxxTheMerciless But they don`t menrtion the Naboo having to pay so oviously they are in protest against it the blockade works as a protest nothing else!!!
@reviewreviewer1 How would a blockade serve as a protest? How would that eliminate a tax?
If the Trade Feds don't like the tax, the thing to do is simply pass the tax onto consumers. That way the tax doesn't really affect you, and you could advocate eliminating that tax so that your customers pay less for goods you bring from abroad. Blockading anybody is expensive and counterproductive.
@reviewreviewer1 The blockade of one world that doesn't seem to produce anything shouldn't change a law. What it ought to do is make people angry. If the Trade Feds are blockading a world out of protest to a law, then they are actually violating the law. They keep saying their blockade is legal. That doesn't make any bit of sense unless they are the ones who support the tax and the Naboo is looking for new trade partners. Instead of sending Jedi, the Chancellor should've sent a navy.
@reviewreviewer1 The only reason I can see for them to conduct a blockade is if they're trying to establish a monopoly and the Naboo doesn't want to do business with them. That makes far more sense than what Wookiapedia says the Trade Feds blockaded Naboo for. Sure, I can see that Nute Gunray is an idiot, but is everyone in the Trade Fed an idiot? Wouldn't the Executive Board have something to say about a blockade?
@MaxxTheMerciless A blockade is means to threaten the republic into agreeing with yoyu, and rthey never mentioned a monopoly and as the trtasde feds are traiuders they logicly are against the taxes also if yiou waant tio talk don`t block me, and don`t block me when I don`t even know you!!!
@reviewreviewer1 I block pretty much everyone, so don't feel too bad.
They never mentioned a lot of things. The film only mentions that there is a dispute over the taxation of trade routes, and that the Trade Feds are blockading Naboo over it. They do not mention what its all about. They do not mention who's taxing what. They don't mention where that tax money is going, how much tax it is, or what the matter is all about. This is not so obvious as you think.
@MaxxTheMerciless They are a trade federation so traders trying to dsttle a taxdispute by blockadingg a planet, sincce they are traders they are logicly against it and it is obvioudsly a protesdt dsince the Naboo are obviously inocent victims. Also you stil can`t justisfy blocking mnre when I did nothing!!!!
@reviewreviewer1 I block everyone so I can control what messages I get.
Now, just because someone is a trader doesn't mean they're opposed to taxes. It all depends on how much influence they have in the govt. Since the Trade Feds have a lot of representation in the Senate, combined with their wealth, they'd more than likely want to crowd others out of the market, to "corner the market," as it were. But, if Wookiapedia is right, then George Lucas didn't think this whole thing out clearly.
@reviewreviewer1 We're not talking about simple merchants, though. We're talking about a large organization that has direct representation in the government and possesses its own armed forces, which implies large amounts of wealth that only nations have. They might've been the ones to propose the taxation of trade routes to crowd out smaller and newer competition, who would have a problem coping with taxes.
@reviewreviewer1 And I hope you understand that by baseless assumption, I mean that he jumped to a (erroneous) conclusion about the situation that wasn't adequately specified. I would also say that blockading a planet in "protest" to taxes doesn't sound like a good idea at all. More likely, it was the Trade Feds that were doing the taxing, that the Naboo resisted, looked for other trading partners, and the Feds blockaded them. But, that's a baseless assumption too.
@MaxxTheMerciless Dude they logically wouldn't be in league with the senate, that's not implied at all. They are traders, so it's only logical that they are against taxes. It is established that they are a trade organization and are not that they are in league with the government.
@reviewreviewer1 But, how do you know any of that? It isn't "Logical" that they would be against taxes. That's a very flawed presumption based on stereotypical liberal propaganda, that business always is against taxes. In reality, big businesses, like the Trade Feds, would most often use government to crowd out competition that can't afford taxes and regulations like they can, and such an organization can exempt themselves from such regulations.
@MaxxTheMerciless Traders usually are againdt taxes, that isn`t propogansda trade is bad from traders unkles there is such an exceoption but they don`t mention such an exception or hint at it but o establish they are regular traiders so they are against the taxes.
@reviewreviewer1 Traders are not "usually" against taxes. Traders are normally against taxes that makes it tougher to do business. But, the bigger and more successful a business, the more often they try to rig the game through supporting taxes and regulations that make it more difficult for new and smaller competitors to do business. Trade is always good, but crony capitalism is always bad.
They mention any detail about this trade dispute for you to come to the conclusion you have made.
@MaxxTheMerciless Taxes can work in there advantage buty usually they don``t, s,maller bisnesses don`t have to pay as much and taxes always cost them money, so uhh traders usually are against taxes.
@reviewreviewer1 This last statement from you clearly demonstrates that you're ignorant and naive. "Usually they don't" work to their advantage? You clearly have a very narrow, limited view of the world.
You can't seem to wrap your head around the concepts I'm talking about. To believe what you believe indicates you are lacking in any economic, business, or political education. I'm done with you.
@MaxxTheMerciless Tasxes usually cost people money so especially traderrs usually don`t lik,e them, unmless there is a special exception whuch wasn`t established.
@MaxxTheMerciless But you can assumew things and theuy do establish things they weren`t in leaugue with the senate and established the Naboo were inocent so sine thhey asrte independrent trsders they sre logicly against thr taxes and tyhe blockader klogicl;y serves as a ptrotest.
@reviewreviewer1 The point I'm making is that because they do not mention the details of this dispute, at all, in any way, you can't make any assumptions because such things aren't so cut-and-dried. To do so is to read into things that aren't there. In A New Hope, they mention the situation in ways you can assume, Rebels who are struggling against an Empire that has a planet-destroying weapon, and they build on that. In the Prequels, they don't build on anything.
Does anyone know how this man died? I feel it's such a real shame. He seemed like a very intelligent guy with a passion for movies. I love the 9 vid responce to Confused Matthew's bashing of 200: A Space Odyssey, he is intelligent, informed, dignified and entertaining in his responce. It's a shame. RIP mate x
I could watch Episode II or III before I could watch Episode I. The other two might have the most problems between the three films, but they're nowhere near as boring.
@FPietros just wanted to mention, chase was an atheist and did not believe in the afterlife but still I udnerstand what u mean, I hope he is up there somewhere continuing his love and passion for movies
@FPietros Even SOME, actually. But "afterlife" is a abstract concept, even more for atheists, and can have a diversity of explanations. But anyway, i'm an atheist i've yet to met any atheist or skeptic person that believes on a "religious like" afterlife. But if you're talking about some other meaning of "afterlife", lthat's another story. It can be a beginning, from a point of view.
I know Chase is dead and not able to answer for himself at this point - but was this post serious or sarcastic? Did he really like it, or was he being a smarmy dick and hating on Redlettermedia?
I thought it was going to be filled with pizza rolls! EMAIL ME IF YOU WANT SOME PIZZA ROLLS! ...Hey whats that? Is that the script? Hey I think thats the script! :) The guy is a comedic genius and his videos should be on cable t.v.!
RLM reviews are highly entertaining, sadly, I can't agree with the rest of his home-made videos. I would dodge them altogether, but that's just me so who am I to judge. But it would be nice if he could just focus on movie reviews we're all familiar with: "Baby's Day Out?", who the hell watched that pathetic movie? But ya, he's awfuly funny and makes you keep wanting more. On 2 something important: I think you were 2 harsh on CM. He's an awesome movie reviewer and you were somewhat out-of-line.
You people who continue to compare redlettermedia and confused matthew....wtf. There two critiques have the same view on these shit movies. Just different ways of showing it.
Questions had to be answered Where did Darth Vader come from? WHo was Lukes mother? Why is he so angry? Why does he hate Obi-Wan? Why is he burned at the end of Episode 6? George Lucas answered the questions while still appealing to the old generation of fans WHILE getting a whole new generation. I didnt start liking Star Wars till Ep.1 REASON: When your 6 you dont get the deeper meanings. Meaning you look at the basic. whats shown to you. Thats what Geroge did and he passed. Good job!
@B4n5h33Chess So you agree with RedmLetterMedia, then? That the prequels are made for 6 year olds? He keeps saying that, see. The questions you ask aren't really very important to the story when you think about it. There were no loose ends after th original trilogy. Besides, when you know everything, a story becomes less interesting. It's when there's still mystery you come back again and again. And even if the prequels could be really justified, they're still beyond horrible, as RLM points out.
@Metroidchicken what!? you are an idiot! prequels are made to tell the story between how ANAKIN BECAME DARTH VADER, where he came from, why he is in a suit in 4,5,6.... AS WELL
WHY WAS IT THAT OBI-WAN RAN TO TATOOINE?! BECASUE HE KNEW THAT ANAKIN WOULD NOT GO BACK TO A PLANET WHERE FOR HIM HE HAD SO MUCH PAIN AND SUFFERING!!!
so before you comment, here is a tip!!!! DO SOME RESEARCH!!
@B4n5h33Chess No, you munchkin. The reason Obi-Wan was there was because Luke was there. The reason Luke was there was because it was a desolate piece of rock ignored by the empire. If, as the prequels say, Anakin was from Tatooine, this would be a strategically impotent move. It would be one of the first planets I'd send scouts to in the look for Obi-Wan, and even if(being the incredible sissy, emo nobbin Anakin is in the prequels) Vader wouldn't do it, the Emperor most definitely would.
@Metroidchicken OBIWAN TOOK LUKE TO TATOOINE!!!!! watch Ep.3! he could have gone to degobah with Yoda, but he didnt, he went to tatooine, as fair as Luke was concerned Obi wan was the only family he had. The prequels make 100% sense when you look at it my way.
@B4n5h33Chess Seriously, did you even read my comment? I know Obi-Wan took Luke there. I thought that was implied. And no, the prequels do not make sense, for reasons I've already stated. And Luke didn't even know Obi-Wan until his aunt and uncle died. You're not making any sense, and I'm through with you. One should not feed the troll, and I will now stop. If you want further discussion, read and understand my comments, watch RLM's reviews and make sense. Until then, cheerio.
@B4n5h33Chess The fact that Vader is in a respirator suit is a symbol. It represents the fact that he's hardly human any more. How he got it is not really of importance to the plot; the audience will do perfectly fine without knowing. However, the story of how Anakin became Vader could've been interesting - if it was well executed. It was not.
You suggest I do research. I have all along. I suggest you do research and try to apply some logical sense. Right now, all you be doin' is trollin'.
ANOTHER THING... in the movies 4,5,6 Darth Vader used his anger.... for example... i dont know CHOKING A GUY AND THROWING HIM ACCROS A ROOM!!! Where did that anger come from?? How did he get that suit??? Why was he burned at the end of Episode 6? Who was Lukes mother?
These had to be answered. George Lucas did that.... WHILE applealing to the present day generation. He didnt have the old fans in mind really when making the prequels. He wanted new fans. He got them, SO Stop dissing start lovin!
Many people hate the prequels because they dont understand..... the original (4,5,6) was focused around the Rebel Alliance and the Empire. SO they had alot to go off of and could start to just make shit up.
Then came 1,2,3..... many people hate them because they arent like 4,5,6. THEY ARENT SUPPOSE TO
THESE MOVIES ARE TO EXPLAIN HOW ANAKIN BECAME DARTH VADER..... IT FOCUSES ON HIM and the love interest of PADME..... MEANING WHERE LUKE AND LEIA CAME FROM
Mr. Pizza Roll's review of "Clones" is his second best review. "Star Trek" InHisErection" is still his masterwork, imo: beyond funny w/ superior analysis.
I agree with this, chasemelendez. Redletter`s review could even be called genius in the way he makes them. At first I was, "WTF is this nutter?" , but kept watching.
Wrong! Wrong you stupid idiot!!! The lightsaber was intended to be used by every jedi. The prequels are no where near as bad as Redlettermedia says. As a matter of fact, The Phantom Menace I gave a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, Attack of the Clones I gave 70% and Revenge of the Sith a 90%. Overall, anyone who don't love the prequels are A**holes on the entire star wars franchise.
@starwarsman107 Woah woah wait. Did you just post YOUR OWN REVIEWS to reinforce your argument?
I don't even know how to respond to that. That's either brilliance or insanity. I'm leaning towards brilliance on this one, because when I read it, I thought you were saying that those were the Rotten Tomatoes scores. Also, since when does popularity indicate quality? "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" has a 77% on RT! "Transformers 2" grossed half a BILLION! These are TERRIBLE films!
@starwarsman107 The prequels suck donkey dick. They are not Star Wars. When you are old enough dude, I suggest you read some marketing and advertising books. Really take a loooong look at how the prequels were made and set up. I also recommend that you google interviews with Gary Kurtz. If you are such a Star Wars fanatic that you say you are, then you should already know who he is.
@starwarsman107 Why are you insulting yourself? Yes the lightsaber was meant to be used by every jedi. But not everyone should have been a Jedi. The plot made no sense, the characters were wafer thin, Lucas ruined Boba Fett, anakin was waaaaayyyyy too young when introduced. To understand the holes between the Prequel movies you have to read the poorly written books. There are so many things wrong with the Prequel Tragedy, that it isn't even funny.
I agree with you. I would argue with people that TPM is probably the best of the prequels while ROTS is the worst. I too would love to see what RedLetterMedia's thoughts are on this.
@starwarsman107 "Why don't you try to be nice and not such a smarta** all time?"
Because in this case, 'being nice' involves lying about your opinion on the film. Lets do a thought experiment. What is the motivation behind not one, not two but THREE independant critiques of the prequels? (ConfusedMatthew, RedLetterMedia, The People vs. George Lucas). Why would three independent parties have a similar opinion? Once is a fluke, twice a coincidence, but three? Three is a pattern.
@starwarsman107 Who the fuck are you? And why did you comment on my post calling me a smart ass? How the hell was I not nice either? I bet you probably think that The Empire Strikes Back is the most "boringest" of the series?!
Actually, RLM stated in an interview some time back that he thinks Episode III is the least awful one... so i'm quite interested how the review is gonna be.
The only reason people like the Revenge of the Sith is because it's the ultimate fan service. It kinda has an epic feeling to it, when you know the film binds the two trilogies together, but when you see Yoda talking to Chewbacca you remember what piece of shit it really is.
Good review of the Review... Glad you pointed out the fact that even the MAJOR points, all he does is briefly mention "this" and moves right on... he doesn't need to say more.
YES INDEED Phantom Menace was the "best' of the 3, but they were all shit... I have ONLY EVER (and will ever) watch 2 and 3 once... they got my $20... and after (not paying for mind you) watching Wolverine: Origins I'll never trust hollywood again!
Hey if you defend 2001 A space odyssey I can easily defend this movie. All the aparent nonses i this movie is to have you ask why the caracters act so out of caracter and show the complexety of human intelegence, instead of telling a story Lucas wants you to start thinking for yourself. No but seriosly, Attack of the clones was the best movie ever made and 2001 sucked!!!!!
Great to see another RLM fan. I have to agree with you on every point u made....Except, how the prequels progressivly get worse. To be honest, the PT could of started right at AOTC. AOTC and TPM are equally horrible and by far the worse two films in the saga. But ROTS is a watchable movie. It's the only movie where I felt emotion, suspense, and didnt like the bad guys. ROTS, IMO has a chance to be saved. It's the best movie of the three.
...enhanced through genetics, I mean.. they're microorganisms after all, you can also clone those too and then you then would have an immense Jedi army with soldiers stronger than the Knights of the Council.
Having the clone army being Jedi clones would have at least made things a bit more interesting and spared Boba Fett from being completely destroyed. I don't know... i'm just rambling, but it still kinda makes sense.
The first time I've ever watched Star Wars I was around 9. When Obi Wan mentioned the Clone Wars, I always thought it involved cloned Jedi... I mean, after all... what would be better to kill Jedi than Jedi... I was just a kid back then, but it still kinda makes sense...
As AOTC unfolded, what's the point of cloning a bounty hunter if you can clone Jedi and have an immense army of Jedi. Also, since in EP1 midichlorians were introduced the Force sensitivity could also be enhanced through genetic
A less sycophantic response than last time - bravo. I certainly agree that we shouldn't have seen Yoda use a lightsaber; one of the attractive elements of the Yoda character in Episodes V & VI is knowing he's extremely adept with the Force, knowing that no-one could wield a blade like him - but not being shown these things! We were left with a sense of wonder, we were left wanting more. Now the cat's out of the bag, he's less intriguing.
it's not fair to compare confused matthew's reviews to redlettermedia's reviews
cause redlettermedia's reviews are much much longer and are funnier and he uses far more expensive software whereas matthew's reviews are shorter and simplier and matthew does make a lot of good points in his reviews
I completely agree with your assessment of TPM. I've always had to explain to people why I find that movie the best out of the entire prequel trilogy and it is for the reasons you described. Nicely done. :o)
Bet you did NOT expect to see" Baby's day out"? Chase I think you like the serial killer comedy too much you might like "Man bytes Dog" Anyways I like how you praise RedLetter and slam confused Matthew. This is the correct thing to do because one is a film reviewer and another is an Autistic nerd with a side order of ADHD.
Yes, I forgot about Plinkett pulling out the AOTC DVD from the refuse bag, which diffused the build-up of manace and creepiness of that scene brilliantly. I still think that the best attitude to have is to ignore totally the prequels and pretend it was all a bad dream. The tragedy is that Lucas had the financial freedom to make memorable films, but he seems to have just regarded the prequels as product. Look forward to more videos from you.
Oh wow, my last post was just a jumble of words. Ahem. What I ment to say was I'd liked the 3rd the most out of the bunch, though I am sure RedLetter will remind me why it was the worst.. Come to think of it, I am starting to get horrible flash backs. Oh god, she died of a broken heart. AGH.
RedLetterMedia hit the nail on the head. Love their first review, can't wait for the 3rd one. I admit, it has been years since I watched episodes 1-3, but I remember me disliking the 3rd the least.. I am use once RedLetter does their next review, i'll be reminded just how poor that movie was too.
@DarthTirith I saw the preq's last week (and the originals to cleanse my mind of idiocy). God, I knew this would be a disaster when I saw EP1, but the last two just about killed me. They really were that bad. The RedLetter reviews just tore em apart, a helluva lot more fun to watch than the preq's.
In terms of story, episode 3 is by far the worst of the three. But in terms of visual spectacle, it's by far the best. To enjoy episode 3, one has to approach it like they're watching a feature length trailer. Just like with Armageddon.
Ithink Lucas' point with having Obiwan jump out of the window to catch the assasin droid was to try to show where Anakin got his recklessness from. Like when it comes down to it, Obiwan has bad judgement at times which led to Anakin being poorly trained and not respecting him.
I personally think Episode 2 was the worst. And "urban market" portion of his review pissed me off, I'm black and Samuel L. wasn't the only reason I went to go see the goddamn Star Wars movies. Anyways I hate when futuristic movies are made and black people have dissapeared.
This is the first time I ever point this out to someone, but I hope u become a theist someday. Somebody who looks like me, talks like me, probably is as smart as me ...I agree with u on this re:lettermedia. Well tare care.
@chasemelendez Confused Matthew did exactly what Distressed Watched aka Amazing Atheist is doing (actually CM did a better job, DW might as well be writing a summary of irate fanboy forum posts in a monotone - OH WAIT, HE IS!)
But yes, there is no comparison - so much, so VERY has been said about the prequels - if you're going to say it, you need a schtick... Harry S Plinkett is a fantastic one, dare I say he does what Lucas failed to - he showed and didn't tell.
@chasemelendez Confused Matthew did a decent job, but I agree. I can watch Red Letter Media's reviews again and again, almost like a great album. Give Red Letter Media $200m and tell HIM to remake them!
@ie727 They had their ups and downs, comparing them would do no good since RLMs is long and very in depth while Matts is more a synopsis with criticism.

I would add that my favorite line from the AOTC review was in the scene where he refers to Sand People and gets interrupted by the anonymous Star Trek crew member saying "You mean Arabs?"
Then Plinkett just says "No...no, racist...."
The way Plinkett delivered the last line had me laughing my ass off. It adds a totally new side to his character: a social conscious. The serial killer who ties women up in his basement but cannot tolerate racial stereotyping. Brilliant.

@reviewreviewer1 Ever heard of somethng called the British East India Company? They were a cartel established by Parliament in the year 1600, and they were given monopoly status as traders (complete with their own armed forces). They were also given tax revenue from levies at certain ports of call. In light of this it's wrong to say that the Trade Feds detested taxes, since, with representation in the Senate, they could sponsor bills that would give them some, or all, of the revenue.

reviewreviewer1 6 months ago
@reviewreviewer1 How would a blockade serve as a protest? How would that eliminate a tax?
If the Trade Feds don't like the tax, the thing to do is simply pass the tax onto consumers. That way the tax doesn't really affect you, and you could advocate eliminating that tax so that your customers pay less for goods you bring from abroad. Blockading anybody is expensive and counterproductive.

@MaxxTheMerciless With the blockadew you threaten the goverment into dropping the taxes, bmaybe they can`t pass the taxes on.
reviewreviewer1 6 months ago
@reviewreviewer1 The blockade of one world that doesn't seem to produce anything shouldn't change a law. What it ought to do is make people angry. If the Trade Feds are blockading a world out of protest to a law, then they are actually violating the law. They keep saying their blockade is legal. That doesn't make any bit of sense unless they are the ones who support the tax and the Naboo is looking for new trade partners. Instead of sending Jedi, the Chancellor should've sent a navy.
MaxxTheMerciless 6 months ago
@reviewreviewer1 The only reason I can see for them to conduct a blockade is if they're trying to establish a monopoly and the Naboo doesn't want to do business with them. That makes far more sense than what Wookiapedia says the Trade Feds blockaded Naboo for. Sure, I can see that Nute Gunray is an idiot, but is everyone in the Trade Fed an idiot? Wouldn't the Executive Board have something to say about a blockade?
MaxxTheMerciless 6 months ago
@MaxxTheMerciless A blockade is means to threaten the republic into agreeing with yoyu, and rthey never mentioned a monopoly and as the trtasde feds are traiuders they logicly are against the taxes also if yiou waant tio talk don`t block me, and don`t block me when I don`t even know you!!!

@reviewreviewer1 I block pretty much everyone, so don't feel too bad.
They never mentioned a lot of things. The film only mentions that there is a dispute over the taxation of trade routes, and that the Trade Feds are blockading Naboo over it. They do not mention what its all about. They do not mention who's taxing what. They don't mention where that tax money is going, how much tax it is, or what the matter is all about. This is not so obvious as you think.

@MaxxTheMerciless They are a trade federation so traders trying to dsttle a taxdispute by blockadingg a planet, sincce they are traders they are logicly against it and it is obvioudsly a protesdt dsince the Naboo are obviously inocent victims. Also you stil can`t justisfy blocking mnre when I did nothing!!!!
reviewreviewer1 6 months ago
@reviewreviewer1 I block everyone so I can control what messages I get.
Now, just because someone is a trader doesn't mean they're opposed to taxes. It all depends on how much influence they have in the govt. Since the Trade Feds have a lot of representation in the Senate, combined with their wealth, they'd more than likely want to crowd others out of the market, to "corner the market," as it were. But, if Wookiapedia is right, then George Lucas didn't think this whole thing out clearly.

@MaxxTheMerciless Traders are usually against taxes they might hafe had influence but usually they would have to pay so they opose it.

@reviewreviewer1 We're not talking about simple merchants, though. We're talking about a large organization that has direct representation in the government and possesses its own armed forces, which implies large amounts of wealth that only nations have. They might've been the ones to propose the taxation of trade routes to crowd out smaller and newer competition, who would have a problem coping with taxes.
MaxxTheMerciless 6 months ago
@reviewreviewer1 And I hope you understand that by baseless assumption, I mean that he jumped to a (erroneous) conclusion about the situation that wasn't adequately specified. I would also say that blockading a planet in "protest" to taxes doesn't sound like a good idea at all. More likely, it was the Trade Feds that were doing the taxing, that the Naboo resisted, looked for other trading partners, and the Feds blockaded them. But, that's a baseless assumption too.
MaxxTheMerciless 6 months ago
@MaxxTheMerciless Dude they logically wouldn't be in league with the senate, that's not implied at all. They are traders, so it's only logical that they are against taxes. It is established that they are a trade organization and are not that they are in league with the government.
reviewreviewer1 6 months ago
@reviewreviewer1 But, how do you know any of that? It isn't "Logical" that they would be against taxes. That's a very flawed presumption based on stereotypical liberal propaganda, that business always is against taxes. In reality, big businesses, like the Trade Feds, would most often use government to crowd out competition that can't afford taxes and regulations like they can, and such an organization can exempt themselves from such regulations.
MaxxTheMerciless 6 months ago
@MaxxTheMerciless Traders usually are againdt taxes, that isn`t propogansda trade is bad from traders unkles there is such an exceoption but they don`t mention such an exception or hint at it but o establish they are regular traiders so they are against the taxes.
reviewreviewer1 6 months ago
@reviewreviewer1 Traders are not "usually" against taxes. Traders are normally against taxes that makes it tougher to do business. But, the bigger and more successful a business, the more often they try to rig the game through supporting taxes and regulations that make it more difficult for new and smaller competitors to do business. Trade is always good, but crony capitalism is always bad.

@reviewreviewer1 The point I'm making is that because they do not mention the details of this dispute, at all, in any way, you can't make any assumptions because such things aren't so cut-and-dried. To do so is to read into things that aren't there. In A New Hope, they mention the situation in ways you can assume, Rebels who are struggling against an Empire that has a planet-destroying weapon, and they build on that. In the Prequels, they don't build on anything.

@B4n5h33Chess So you agree with RedmLetterMedia, then? That the prequels are made for 6 year olds? He keeps saying that, see. The questions you ask aren't really very important to the story when you think about it. There were no loose ends after th original trilogy. Besides, when you know everything, a story becomes less interesting. It's when there's still mystery you come back again and again. And even if the prequels could be really justified, they're still beyond horrible, as RLM points out.

@Metroidchicken what!? you are an idiot! prequels are made to tell the story between how ANAKIN BECAME DARTH VADER, where he came from, why he is in a suit in 4,5,6.... AS WELL

B4n5h33Chess 1 year ago
@B4n5h33Chess No, you munchkin. The reason Obi-Wan was there was because Luke was there. The reason Luke was there was because it was a desolate piece of rock ignored by the empire. If, as the prequels say, Anakin was from Tatooine, this would be a strategically impotent move. It would be one of the first planets I'd send scouts to in the look for Obi-Wan, and even if(being the incredible sissy, emo nobbin Anakin is in the prequels) Vader wouldn't do it, the Emperor most definitely would.

@Metroidchicken OBIWAN TOOK LUKE TO TATOOINE!!!!! watch Ep.3! he could have gone to degobah with Yoda, but he didnt, he went to tatooine, as fair as Luke was concerned Obi wan was the only family he had. The prequels make 100% sense when you look at it my way.

@B4n5h33Chess The fact that Vader is in a respirator suit is a symbol. It represents the fact that he's hardly human any more.

However, the story of how Anakin became Vader could've been interesting - if it was well executed. It was not.
You suggest I do research. I have all along. I suggest you do research and try to apply some logical sense. Right now, all you be doin' is trollin'.

These had to be answered. George Lucas did that.... WHILE applealing to the present day generation. He didnt have the old fans in mind really when making the prequels. He wanted new fans. He got them, SO Stop dissing start lovin!

Because in this case, 'being nice' involves lying about your opinion on the film. Lets do a thought experiment. What is the motivation behind not one, not two but THREE independant critiques of the prequels? (ConfusedMatthew, RedLetterMedia, The People vs. George Lucas). Why would three independent parties have a similar opinion? Once is a fluke, twice a coincidence, but three? Three is a pattern.

AOTC and TPM are equally horrible and by far the worse two films in the saga. But ROTS is a watchable movie. It's the only movie where I felt emotion, suspense, and didnt like the bad guys. ROTS, IMO has a chance to be saved. It's the best movie of the three.

...enhanced through genetics, I mean.. they're microorganisms after all, you can also clone those too and then you then would have an immense Jedi army with soldiers stronger than the Knights of the Council.
Having the clone army being Jedi clones would have at least made things a bit more interesting and spared Boba Fett from being completely destroyed. I don't know... i'm just rambling, but it still kinda makes sense.

As AOTC unfolded, what's the point of cloning a bounty hunter if you can clone Jedi and have an immense army of Jedi. Also, since in EP1 midichlorians were introduced the Force sensitivity could also be enhanced through genetic

A less sycophantic response than last time - bravo. I certainly agree that we shouldn't have seen Yoda use a lightsaber; one of the attractive elements of the Yoda character in Episodes V & VI is knowing he's extremely adept with the Force, knowing that no-one could wield a blade like him - but not being shown these things! We were left with a sense of wonder, we were left wanting more. Now the cat's out of the bag, he's less intriguing.

The tragedy is that Lucas had the financial freedom to make memorable films, but he seems to have just regarded the prequels as product. Look forward to more videos from you.

Ithink Lucas' point with having Obiwan jump out of the window to catch the assasin droid was to try to show where Anakin got his recklessness from. Like when it comes down to it, Obiwan has bad judgement at times which led to Anakin being poorly trained and not respecting him.

So how would you compare it to confused Matthew's review of the film?

Agree, Confused Mathews first reviews where pretty good but his latest ones are kinda lazy.

@chasemelendez Confused Matthew did exactly what Distressed Watched aka Amazing Atheist is doing (actually CM did a better job, DW might as well be writing a summary of irate fanboy forum posts in a monotone - OH WAIT, HE IS!)
But yes, there is no comparison - so much, so VERY has been said about the prequels - if you're going to say it, you need a schtick... Harry S Plinkett is a fantastic one, dare I say he does what Lucas failed to - he showed and didn't tell.

@chasemelendez Confused Matthew did a decent job, but I agree. I can watch Red Letter Media's reviews again and again, almost like a great album. Give Red Letter Media $200m and tell HIM to remake them!

I thought the part about the Jedis being jerks was kind of fun

@chasemelendez Indeed, Confused Matthew's was far superior, RLM tries far too hard to be funny.

@ie727 They had their ups and downs, comparing them would do no good since RLMs is long and very in depth while Matts is more a synopsis with criticism.

@chasemelendez I actually really liked Confused Matthew's review. Sure it wasn't as funny, but it covered a wide variety of flaws in the film.

Nice video.
I would add that my favorite line from the AOTC review was in the scene where he refers to Sand People and gets interrupted by the anonymous Star Trek crew member saying "You mean Arabs?"
Then Plinkett just says "No...no, racist...."
The way Plinkett delivered the last line had me laughing my ass off. It adds a totally new side to his character: a social conscious. The serial killer who ties women up in his basement but cannot tolerate racial stereotyping. Brilliant.
